Seven patients at St George’s Hospital in Tooting have received CAR-T therapy for blood cancer, with most now in remission.

One of them, 74-year-old Gordon Macniven, is now back enjoying life, exploring London again after treatment for lymphoma.

CAR-T therapy uses a patient’s own engineered immune cells to destroy cancer and is a one-time treatment for certain blood cancers.

St George’s is urging eligible patients to consider CAR-T, offering hope when other treatments fail.
